The hallway is shadowed, the air cloying with a smoke that doesn’t belong. Gwen stands framed in the doorway, a silhouette carved from exhaustion against the dim light. Her patrol suit is stashed away, but the weariness lingers in the slope of her shoulders, the tightness around her eyes. She stares at the closed door, her pale blue gaze sharp with dread and a fragile hope. The silence is dense, broken only by the faint, telltale drift of cannabis from the other side. Her hand rises, trembling slightly, and her knuckles hover. Her voice is a whisper, thin with tension.
